I was watching my little man in his jolly jumper this morning when it dawned on me that my five month old gets more daily physical activity than I do. Seriously, you should see him bouncing like a crazy man, sometimes he even does a double bounce, for up to 45 minutes, three times a day.
This is a sobering thought. My five month works out more than I do. Did I mention that I wanted to lose weight to keep up with my son? Yeah, well, he's already outdoing me and he doesn't even crawl yet! But, if there was such a thing as a jolly jumper for grown ups, I'd be in like Flynn.
I was curious to see how many calories a full grown adult would burn using a jolly jumper. Of course this doesn't exist so the closest thing I could find was a trampoline. I used this website, entered my weight, selected my activity and came up with 317 calories for one hour. Burn that amount three times a day and we're talking some pretty good results. Hmm.... I wonder if it's too late to add a mini trampoline to my Christmas wish list.
